The Neuro company is now (2023) worth millions. The two dudes are doing very well wow
Wow...
That much bigger than Sharks 😅
@@hindamikartika1825 Mark alone is worth over 5 billion.
Not true I just researched it
@@frankie4827they’re in the 8 figure range. Not sure where the 500 million came from
There is one source that says they are worth $500 million, which I think it's a typo. Their annual sales is at 6 million, valuation around $15 million.
These two guys were so impressive. I'd like to invest but I have no money.
😄
Invest at the valuation they were asking? Maybe that’s why you’re not a VC 😂
Invest in deeeez
so your out for that reason
Get a job
I don't know why people are saying Kevin's deal "wasn't bad". Their products sell for $3.99. A 50cent royalty is 12.5%. So Kevin will get paid his $1m when they hit $8m in sales, which they will clear in a year if they hit their projections, and 2 years if they don't. So they're paying $250k interest on a $750k loan, or 33% if repaid in a year. Plus they lose 5% of their company. These guys can walk into any bank and easily get a 10% APR business loan.
Yes, a Shark's guidance is valuable, but the even more valuable lesson learned is to not take trash deals like this. And they saved themselves $250k and 5% of their company learning it.
smart guy thanks for the run down
its not a bad deal
Ya, I don't think Kevin's deal was that bad. I don't think they wanted him, that's why.
@@houchi69 tbh. I think they were looking for Lori
Explain how you calculated this
Barbara called in from a coffee shop to say she's out.
@Michael Terrell and for that reason, you are out
@Michael Terrell XD
@Michael Terrell another crap comment from you.....surprise surprise...
@Michael Terrell no one asked for your crap comment either....
😂😂
Kudos to the brothers that stood their ground and know when to walk away. Not many young men can handle that.
Not really manliness. They were in a position where they were needed by the sharks more than they needed the sharks.
They're not brothers
They aren’t brothers…
I guess you need more focus because those 2 ain't brothers.
@@Jebu911 he meant brothers like two men
For a company who hasnt capitalized in "Marketing" I think these 2 just pulled off the biggest heist! lol....
That's what I said! Talk about getting a great commercial with out any cluing in that they were gold digging, lol!
They talk the talk but they might not walk the walk like the breathalyser guy.
For real.. I was just considering buying it until I realized I don’t have focus issues.
I chewed one of their gums and I havent slept since this episode aired WHAT A GREAT PRODUCT!!
😂💀
Lmfao
bro i think that was methamphetamine
I'm gonna look this product up because I want to buy it now! I believe they helped themselves tremendously just by appearing on this show and were smart not taking the offers. Great job 👏 👍
I think Robert will regret not getting the 10% for 1 million. This is a great product with already 3.5m/sales and with an operating margin of 20%, that means they are getting at least 2-2.5m in earnings. Combine that with a basically 100% growth rate year over year with great customer retention, getting in at 10% for 1 million is a pretty good deal.
I can't believe they let cripples on the show
@@TheSuperBoyProject I can’t believe you are intelligent enough to type with your discriminatory mindset
They came for pr. They did not want a deal.
@@TheSuperBoyProject ???
8:38 They just laugh in Kevin's face at his offer, lol.
I also laughed at his offer. I hate that Kevin always want royalties. I get why but nah.
😂💀
I love it when KO gets PO'd after being ejected for his greedy offers.
@@real_lampcap The key words is you hate.
They didn’t need a deal. They knew what they were doing lol
Mmmmm
Def need marketing, never heard of them until right now.
Which was smart
I never heard of any company that was on shark tank until I started watching it. Although I am in Europe not North America
@@SilverSurfer33 ok, why is this so true
@@aboutcars8856 Bc shark tank is a marketing platform.
Light bulb.
3:06 Mark really be like 👁👄👁 sometimes lmfao
They really made the right choice for themselfs. You dont always have to give up more than you want! These guys will make it!
I've seen their products in Walmart too
They made 3.5mil already, they have a big room for growth on their own and with shark tank exposure...the team win in this case. 😊
Nah, nothing beats a shark tank deal, most of the pitchers r crazy, u can search and see that most companies that declined r sucsessful but they did 7 million in net worths, instead of some shark deals of the same category that do 50 millions annually
@@arthurbritannia1234 but now if they go again after taking a shot they can get a way better deal
Haven't seen ring
Barbara: im not here, so for that reason I'm out.
Your Barbara joke is NOT funny !! (Is the above original with you?)
😂😂😂
I'm actually amazed that Red Bull never brought out chewing gums
You dilute the Red Bull name by creating an inferior product. Why divide Red Bull fans? Shelf space in the beverage isle is way more valuable than the shelf space that would display Red-Bull mints or gum.
Is no one going to comment about their amazing jawlines? Dudes have great genetics are in amazing shape, clearly.
You guys got a new customer! Love the product and more importantly love you guys. So positive and so hardworking, these guys are going far. The sharks missed out for sure. Keep doing your thing!!!!
Came on YT looking for reviews before buying. Saw this and now want to buy just to support them. Seem like awesome guys will have to see if their product is for me.
Why doesn't anyone ever counter Kevin? Maybe suggest to him a 25 cent royalty till he gets let's say half of his money or half a million back, and the 5%?
I mean, there was wiggle room there for sure. His offer was better than Robert's.
Because a fair deal would have been like 5 cents a unit for half, and that's just too big a gap. Kevin's deal was just down right idiotic. He was asking effectively for them to give him 250k by the end of the year for him to also take 5% of their company. They wouldn't have the time to use his capital with a product that sells AT RETAIL for 4 dollars with a 10 million projected sale, and a 50 cent per unit royalty.
Royalties and loans suck because they just add overhead and crushes growth potential. Nobody should take those deals unless they are already doing well, or have no other choices to raise capital.
Any half decent business can walk into a bank and take literally any small business loan over one of those crap "10% interest on top of 10% equity" loans Kevin throws out.
@@unmannedtank Why not counter him with something completely different, then? Like the million dollars for 10% offer they gave Robert? He was the only shark left, and if they truly wanted one they just gave up too easy. My guess is they only wanted the exposure with their ridiculous evaluation.
@@MsJondde because honestly, Kevin's deal was practically insulting, and I wouldn't want to be in business with someone who only wants to skim from my topline. If he wanted to do a 10% for $1m deal, he could have swooped in and taken that offer after they countered Robert.
They looked like they were doing fine already before coming on Shark Tank. If you want to give them the benefit of the doubt and take them for their word, they came in for the Shark's expertise. They were willing to pay for it, like they would have Robert, but not get completely ripped off by Kevin.
no one wants Kevin
these guys will make it. i will definitely try their product when i see it in stores.
I take their NeuroGum mints every day and it's phenomenal. I don't know what they put in them but it gives me so much more mental clarity and focus than coffee. Plus it doesn't give me coffee breath and I don't end up going to the bathroom a million times. It's been a lifesaver for me and my business.
3:33 --- Is it just me, or does 33% repeat customer for a food / gum sound very low? That means 2/3rds of people dont like the gum enough, or do not care to use the product enough, to buy it again. Sounds poor.
@@josephsummers2427 How many times have you bought the same thing every weekend? I prefer to try new things.
@@tripline8076 Repeat customer doesnt mean every weekend or every day or something. In this case, its probably every few months. I have bought a vast majority of consumable foods every month, over and over. If its that delicious, they would want more. But only 33% want it again? That is stinky numbers.
what a friendship! what a brootherhood
I need a friend like these to push me up
i’ve been eating these every day for over 2 years, LOVE their products
So weird I’m seeing this because I just saw this gum for the first time ever last night in a convenience store. It caught my attention because of the packaging.
This sounds like something I’d use! I’ve been trying to sway away from coffee & I love mints & gum so this sounds cool!
I feel like these guys didn't need the 750k. The exposure and free advertising is what they're after.
I have $200 in my bank account and for that reason I’m out
This gum is amazing! It really does work, I was sceptical because I have chronic fatigue and was worried I would crash. But it helps me so much!
@@auroraborealis5565 gj, you paid attention. What is your inane point?
Umm.. is it just me or did they get a great commercial with out anyone suspecting golddigging?!
right?? Just being in shark tank whether you're the one who don't take the offer or no shark gave an offer, you still get promotion and therefore boosted sales regardless
These guys are awesome, I'll definitely try this out!
I met them at the Forbes 30 under 30 event in Detroit this year. Delicious mints, which they sponsored all the under 30s with.
why would she try to hold back Robert his energy is everything 😂
These guys are the type of cousins my parents compare me to 😂. But even if they didn’t snag a deal, they’re amazing, accomplished people regardless. What inspiration!
Packaging looks great!
For anyone interested in this product, I have the mints and the gum! They give me a burst of energy without the crash and taste pretty good!
doesn't all caffeine give crash?
@@Catalystgo i think its the sugar in coffee that gives the crash at least in my experience
@Joey Fang no, that's the sugar part of most caffeinated products.
@@Catalystgo It's paired with L-Theanine and the sublingual absorption helps mitigate any crash
@@MultiWarbird define what you mean by mitigate...
Ooo I used to use this stuff back in 2018 and 19. Cool to see it going somewhere.
Great presentation!
These dudes should just put thier product in every Loves/Pilot truck truckstop. Us truckers down energy drinks like it's water
That’s what i was thinking. I drive truck all the time and this would definitely be a great product to have a loves!
kevin saying suscribe was the highlight of my day (im having a terrible day)
These guys seem so energetic. Heck i wanna buy the product just on them😂
"We like to push each other" 😂😂
Good luck to them. Love their energy
Kevin is harsh but he always gets emotional very easily and sometimes cries those type of people have a good heart i guarantee you...
So impressive these two
"and they all have potholes" That quick-wittedness though!
Well, to be fair he's probably heard that line hundreds of times. Plenty of time to prepare a retort ha. Maybe even unconsciously.
These guys are both warriors❤
Impressive sales. Millions congratulations. Wish robert would have taken the counter.
I really liked those guys! So positive
"Sometimes we like to push each other" 😂
No you didn't 😂
And that’s why he’s on the wheelchair?
Damn, you see the look on Kevin's face when they were going through the back story..@2:47 .. it look like it was personal for him. lol, but it didnt last long, WOW the deal he gave them was brutal..
Barbara:
I hate coffee, I'm out 😂
No, Barbara: I love coffee, and so I'm out 😂
@@tc4583 😂
I just know kevin had those tear ready in his pocket the moment he saw the wheelchair
They seem like more than friends 😉❤
RunGum has been doing this (caffeinated gum) for a long time.
"Hey sharks, thank you for the free TV commercial! See ya!"
Get Lost !!
2:22 I think Ken wants to be more then friends 🥴
It's sucks being told that you'll never walk again, it's been 3yrs for me after getting shot in the back when I was 21yrs old♿️
LOVE THESE 2 GUYS❤
Can't find their product online
Kevin's offer was good. It gave them exactly what they asked for and he wanted to recoup his money back.
Yes, surprised they didn't want to consider it
I agree.
He gave them what they asked for -1 000 000 dollars
The .50 royalty makes their profit margins abysmal. Definitely not a good offer
Free equity for kevin
shark tank should bring on a minimum wage employee, give them one million to play with, and put them on the panel and see what happens,
Aye
Love this product! Order direct from company!
such an amazing story
I would want neuro myself. Great idea
Both are awesome 👍
0:53 you're definitely not running around with it brother don't worry
These guys were extremely impressive
I swear I remember seeing this in the store when I was like 8 or 9. I'm 24 now
Feels like they were there just for the free advertising. They even said it themselves that the money would go to the advertising.
Im not economically illiterate enough to understand business offers, but i wanted to ask why they were key in the valuation of the company for the offer?
Does that mean that Robert’s share of the company will equal to 5% of the valuation?
I just tried this gum yesterday and its legit, great product, they'll do great.
sitting in my car during lunch break, watching this and eating spicy nugs from Wendy’s… does it get better?
this would be an epic preworkout
They obviously werent there for a deal and just wanted free marketing because kevins offer was actually pretty reasonable when you consider his past offers of that nature usually he wants to double his investment or takes about 10% but they had an offer that kept their valuation the same
Is it me or the newer episodes tend to have their “everyone has a story” moments?
No Q's about the total caffeine intake from using both packs up? Now we can croak with fresh breath.
Wow what a great product, I'll love to try it! I would like to invest but I'm broke and in debt to loan sharks so for that reason IM OUT.
I bought this gum at CVS. It does give me extra energy
Ima buy some right frickin NOW! These guys are awesome!
This could blow up like the 5 hour energy, but it could also fail because there are a lot of energy products nowadays.
Its a saturated market, for sure
Good people these guys
Kevin's deal was pretty fair, 5% like they asked for the 750k and the royalty until 1 mil dollar which is basically 1x his investment, they probably could have asked for the royalty to go down to 30cents or 20cents per unit and use the "we don't want the royalty to slow down our growth" excuse and they were chilling. Too bad everyone in the shark tank is scared of royalty deals cause they probably don't understand it (exception : perpetual royalty sucks). And to the guy in the comment that's comparing a shark's investment to a bank loan , you are clueless my guy 💀
I'm checking out their product right now. 😁
Saying no to a deal on Sharks Tank does not mean it's a bad thing. The tremendous amount of exposure to consumers through this channel will always boost sales.
Good dudes . Respect ✊
5:15 - “you remind me of my father and for that reason I’m out. “
Why didn’t Daniel invest? It’s a great fit for his portfolio. It sounded like the guys really wanted him too, they probably would’ve tried to get a deal done.
I think everyone who comes on Shark Tank boosts their sales by marketing themselves...aka 'exposure!' I'm searching for this product right now...
They got 750k in advertising just being on the show
It also doesn't help that there's similar brands to these guys out there, just slightly different model & how it's setup. I appreciate the idea of trying to help people get away from coffee, but just don't think it'll pan out.
But it has already kiddo
Love the prompt to subscribe to Dragon's Den lol
Something about drinking a cup of coffee that these pills can never provide
stained teeth? bad breath? time wasted prepping? you sound old.
Holy crap I’d buy this. One of these every day and I would have so much energy for work
yt bot
@@smokeymacpot8525 have you tried it though...
It hasn’t even been proved to work, for all we know it could be placebo
Gday from Australia 🇦🇺
Kevin: well then, all roads lead back to Mr. Wonderful
Mark: and they all have potholes
🤣
2:44 - wait is Kevin tearing up after hearing the story?
My favourite show 😍
great
They went in for the exposure.
Wow I thought of this exact product a few months ago
Man how is no on talking about that dudes jaw line handsome Squidward vibes
Caffeinated gum has been around a long time
